Deja Vu for Jayhawk fans????????
So every time we make it to the Final 4 an opening is created at our current coaches alma mater. Reports from ESPN have Sean Sutton stepping down at Oklahoma State making Bill Self the first choice as his replacement.
This is not an April Fools Day joke.
If Bill Self doesn't come out and address this in his news conference today at 3pm central then I say let his ass leave. This needs to be dealt with TODAY.
THINGS THAT ONLY HAPPEN IN KCK
In an effort to better organize the ramblings that often take place in this blog I will be starting a new post title. "Things that only happen in _______".
The first city and story are very fitting due to the odd crap that happens inside of KCK.
Man driving down 7th street at 3:30am(when all good things happen) has flaming mattress behind him which ends up catching his car on fire.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
If you live in the KCMO school district you are surrounded by illiterate morons! If you are educated LEAVE AT ONCE! This story confirms what every self respecting JOCO resident has thought for more than 30 years. For those of you that live outside of KCMO or are in the minority of educated people residing there I have put together some tips on how to handle your run ins with the ignorant majority residing in KCMO.
1. Talk slow.
2. Do not use words above two syllables.
3. If they are available utilize visual aides.
4. Do not use story problems.
5. Make them show their work or at least have a calculator on hand.
6. Do not engage in any form of communication that requires spelling.
7. Learn what the initials GED stand for.
8. Do not engage in any of the following topics; politics, economics, education (given), history, the weather, sports or current events.
9. Nod your head and make eye contact.
10. Speak in rhymes. Think Johnny Cochran, Dr. Seus, Jessie Jackson, Mother Goose.
Good LUCK!

Kevin Kietzman take on the Jayhawks
If you needed more proof that Kevin Kietzman is the biggest idiot Kansas State homer in the world you needn't read anymore than the following.
1. Couldn't believe that KU celebrated going to the Final 4
2. KU fans realize they have no shot at winning
3. KU is not much better than Davidson
4. KU is the Underdog in the tournament. "That's the only way I know how to approach it". Really Kevin, when the hell have you ever been able to cheer for your team in College Hoops.
5. Russell Robinson looked like a deer in the headlights.
6. The only way that Kansas can win is by playing the perfect game. They aren't good enough to beat these other teams otherwise.
7. Kansas is not on the same level with Carolina historically.
8. KU fans should hate North Carolina & Roy Williams
9. Tyler Hansborough is not any good.
10. Bill Self's Legacy is on the line. This is it. (Setting KU up for a fall)
11. Roy Williams is a drama queen (which means he wouldn't appear on his show)
12. If you want to mention Carolina & Kansas in the same breath they have to win this game.
13. You can not believe anything that Roy Williams says.
14. Roy Williams has a "knack" for recruiter white players.
15.
THINGS OF NOTE
1. My daughters are now proud rodent owners. Friday night we went out and got the girls some new pets. We ended up getting the youngest 2 gerbils & the oldest a Guinea pig.
2. Winter will never end. This is the most depressing weather I have ever seen in the metro. Nothing sucks the life out of you more than knowing that everyday that you wake up there is going to be crappy weather. I feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day.
3. Road Construction is on its way back. The weather isn't going to slow down the closing of lanes and bridges in the metro. I still don't know why they just don't build it right the first time.
4. Why isn't Metro Sports in HD? You would think that the channel owned by the cable company would be. I guess they can't even get that right.
5. Stillwell Station is the best unknown BBQ Joint in the Metro. If you haven't been to the gas station for BBQ then you are missing out. 199th and Metcalf & yes there are tables inside to eat at. Try the rib tips & Pork.
6. What is pathetic? Pathetic is when you don't have a team in the race (and never have) and you talk trash about another team. MU & K State fans who haven't seen a good basketball season in decades this applies to you. Stay on the sidelines where you belong.
7. The tax deadline is approaching. I refuse to pay my taxes before the deadline. Why should I? I don't get a refund. Over the years I have found myself despising those that do get money back from the government. If anything those that get refunds should be the ones cutting the check at the end of the year. They are the ones that didn't put in their fair share.
8. The fact that the Royals are opening up in Detroit has taken away from my opening day excitement. I did hear rumors that 88 of the Royals televised games will be in HD. Watching baseball in HD is better than being there.
9. Most blogs suck. Have you ever hit the next blog button at the top of blogger? Holy crap there are some turds out there.
10. Malcom X. I dig this movie. It was on MOJOHD all weekend and I watched it twice. Weird for a conservative Republican to watch, I know but the man was very interesting.
11. Have you read _____ book? I don't think I have read a book from cover to cover in over 15 years(besides what I read to my kids). I think people read just to say that they did. Don't you think that if the book was any good that a movie would be made about it? The only exceptions to that rule are books that contain information to improve my earning power.
12. Backyard living area. I have decided to shelve the patio idea until next year and start from scratch. This means new deck & patio. I have been researching these outdoor living areas and have decided that if I am going to spend the money, that is the way to go.
QUICK HITS
1. How bad is this guys life? 1. He lives in KCK. 2. He is a criminal 3. He is a dumb criminal
2. Missing a dog? In unrelated news
3. Another father of the year candidate. This jackass kills his kids then calls the front desk of the hotel he was staying at to tell them.
4. Another crappy peace plan is being worked on in Israel this week and both sides report that they are "ready to take steps towards peace". This headline should of been easy to write because it has been written 1000 times in the past. Israel needs to give up on negotiating with these people and attack. We are delaying the inevitable and I am sick of seeing Israel being forced to cater to these extremist groups.
5. The biggest waste of $300,000,000 that you will ever see is about to take place.
6. Has the United States exaggerated its kill count in Iraq?
7. Get a Job you lazy bastards!!!!!!!!!! Let me guess, you are holding out for management positions?
8. Over the past 4 months Bill Clinton has lost any & all power he had in the Democratic Party. What makes him think that people will listen to him?

QUICK HITS
1. For $40 Sprint could of hired a crack head and ended up with the same result. Instead they gave Forsee $40 million in 2007.
2. I think they should give this survey to their students instead of the teachers. What the hell do you expect them to say? Do they really expect teachers to be accountable for their inability to educate? Holy crap.
3. FINALLY!!! A fight at a bar on Troost that didn't involve guns or knives. These guys should get medals not arrested. The tulips are working!!!!!!!!
4. Maybe Paseo needs some tulips.
5. What did you expect from a community college full of students that have represented themselves in court on more than one occasion? They should be good debaters.
6. If this kid lived in KCMO it would be the norm but since he is in Brazil it is news worthy.
7. Herbal remedy for life is being marketed in Indonesia. This drink is a sure fire cure for living.
8. Some cities in the United States are just as dangerous as those in Iraq. Criminals should sleep peacefully tonight knowing that these are the same planes that have been searching for Bin Laden for the past 7 years.
9. Kids today have better toys than what we had growing up. When I was a kid there was Lazer Tag. These kids have taken that to a whole new level.
10. More proof that papers like the Kansas City Red Star are on their way out.
THE LOSS OF MY RIVAL
Sometimes in life the loss of your biggest rivals are those that leave the biggest marks. This can be said without any doubt about the recent passing of my rival over the past 18 years. From the first time we met this rival and I were at odds and although I tried I was never fully able to bring her over to my side.
This rival was a capable and resourceful foe willing to go at any length needed to win. Some of the tactics utilized by this rival were sleep deprevation, tripping down flights of stairs, chemical weapons, excessive noise, nagging and emotional warfare. I often sat and wondered if this rival had received torture training from the CIA. The skill that I went up against will never be matched by another foe.
This week saw the end of our epic battle and even though she is gone, I know that she won. She always ended up getting her way and never compromised. These battles are going to be missed. So long ICE and thank you for 13 years of entertainment.

KCK GETS NEW GROCERY STORE
Anytime someone wants to sink money into downtown KCK it is news. It appears that 18th street will get a new grocery store and hotel off of I70. I know that if I were looking to open a grocery store and hotel that this would be my first choice in locations......
The people that are putting this store in either have to be incredibly ignorant OR are getting the whole thing funded by JOCO. Yes I said JOCO. It makes sense doesn't it? What better way to keep KCK residents from entering the dome than to open a grocery store on their side of "the bridge". Also look into who is developing the new Mission shopping area and see if they have ties into the group building what will be the most robbed store in the metro. It just doesn't make sense. Who the hell are they going to get to work there? In a county with the highest unemployment rate in the state the Village West STILL can not fill jobs that have been open for 2 years.
I am sure the good people that were brave enough to open their family run grocery stores up the street are glad to see the competition move in. Seriously I feel bad for those people that for years were the only ones willing to take the risk in that area.
QUICK HITS
1. Life of a fish is more important than that of Missouri residents. Having just come back from Southern Missouri I can tell you that the people down their are pissed. They can't believe that potential flooding of their lands and possible deaths don't mean as much as this fish.
2. KCMO needs to do a better job when targeting future convention business. Why is it that every freaking major issue this city faces there happens to be a convention of that group coming to the city? This time it is the ZOO. What a freaking joke.
3. I wondered how long it would be before we had unoriginal criminals copy off of the D.C. snipers.
4. Not only will this educator knock you up but he will drive you to get an abortion.
5. This story had the headline "Human Cockfighting"...........No surprise that it is taking place right outside of Joplin, Mo.
6. Yet another shooting on a college campus.
7. And ANOTHER gun situation on a college campus after she killed her kids.
8. When the Chinese aren't killing Monks they are busy making Pandas horny.
